Fast Estate Required
Discussion
As far as the 156 GTA SW is concerned, it depends what your reason for having needing an estate is? Compared to a 3 Series Touring or Mondeo estate it has a lot less useable space. The back seats are apalling space wise especially if driver and front seat passenger are anything over 6ft.
If you want to do any spirited driving a Q2 diff is a must, if it has an original diff it will be a case of when rather than if it fails. Anything post 2004 should have the bigger brakes (330mm) which are much more up to the job than the 300mm and less prone to warp (although I have the smaller setup and have been fine so far).
There are alledgedly less than 100 GTA Sportwagons in the country so the rarity value is there, I looked at Stageas and Legnums but couldn't get the insurance for a sensible price at the time, them being a Jap import.

Didnt realise that. I know of at least two in villages surrounding me!Someone on the Alfa Owner forum did a check in 2006 and there were 107 Sportwagons so I stand corrected on my initial quote of 100, saying that there are probably less than 100 left now.
